Happy 4th!!

Wow I can't believe it is here already but this weekend marks the beginning of the 4th of July celebrations. I think we say it every year, but it just seems like summer is flying by. I think of it differently now that I am in the working world and no longer in school. I remember when I was in school, the 4th always meant that summer was almost 1/2 over but there was still time to get a lot done...or make some money before classes start again! It is amazing how for so much of your life you live by school years and you live for summer, but then that all changes so abruptly when you start working. Now summer isn't the exciting time you look forward to when you are a kid, it is now a time when you try to find some time for yourself because your weekends are jammed packed with weddings, picnics, reunions, vacations and other "fun summer" events! Which for that reason is why Josh and I are staying home this weekend. It does feel kind of strange to not have plans for this "oh so important" travel weekend, but then on the other hand it will be nice to hang out at home and enjoy the peace and quiet! I thought I would post some pictures to remind us of fun summer activities...and one to show you how much Hunter looks like Josh! Well I hope if you are traveling for the holiday, your travels are safe and your time is enjoyable!

Over and out!

Glimmer of Hope

Well the decision was made...Josh did really well. We have picked the black dress. I think I am the most comfortable in it too. But to top things off was the AWESOME pair of shoes I found to go with the dress! I will definitely take a picture of the shoes...even if you don't get to see the full package! Now I just need to find some funky jewelry and I will be good as gold.

On another note, I would like to share a picture of my wonderful husband and his musky. It is first and he (and I) are very proud! Way to go Josh!

Over and out!

Resolution

Well after thinking about it last night and while I swam this morning (swimming laps is great meditation and thinking time) I have decided to go and buy the dress at Boston Store too, try them both on for Josh and let him make the decision. Poor guy, I know he didn't sign up for this but at least he can have something to compare them with....I will keep you posted on the big decision.

Dress Shopping...what fun

Well tonight was the dreaded night of all nights...dress shopping. I have two weddings coming up and I needed something to wear. Unfortunately, even though Hunter is totally worth it, I have a lot more curves, bumps, jiggly and dangling things then I used to have...so trying on dresses in a very bright, dully painted, heavily mirrored room...isn't all that appealing. (Not to mention the help I brought along ditched me :) ) So as I am standing there and I have already tried on close to 10 dresses in sizes that are much bigger then I like, I have resorted to skirts and pants...so now the big decision...do I go with the shirt and skirt I think I like...but can't really tell if it makes me look pregnant...one look I am REALLY not going for...or do I go home empty handed...something I vowed I wouldn't do. Well I bought it, do I like it? I guess...do I love it? No... But I am to exhausted and depressed after all that to try it on for Josh to get his opinion tonight...and I don't think he should get the brunt of it (he does enough). So maybe I will take it back...I don't know, I will keep you posted. There are times when you really need a girlfriends approval I guess this is one of them.

Moral of the story...dress shopping is no fun...there are a ton of cute dresses out there but finding that hidden gem takes a lot more time then I have available...I guess I will do what I usually do when I need a little pick me up...I will go look at my beautiful little boy sleeping and realize that my bigger hips, stretched marked tummy and big boobs are all worth it! (that and email Diana and vent!)

Over, out and exhausted!

Spelling Important?? I don't think so...

For those of you that don't know me well, you would never guess that I am not good at spelling...but I am not. Where that originates from I don't know, but if you take a look at my dad's spelling I am beginning to think it might be genetic! Then there is the "computer generation" which enables us to have "spell checker" to check all of our work, therefore may hinder our actual spelling capability (although I can fool the best spell checker)...this would be the same thing as the "calculator generation" which would be why I can't add, subtract, multiply or divide in my head! Laziness can also play into it...due to lack of proof reading (which I am sure you have witnessed on this blog). Where am I going with this you ask??? Well I have just received the following:

fi yuo cna raed tihs, yuo hvae a sgtrane mnid too

Cna yuo raed tihs?

i cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg.

The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it whotuit a pboerlm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Azanmig huh? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt! if you can raed tihs forwrad it.

I can read this, I don't know about you...but I think it proves that I don't need to know how to spell anyway! All I need to know is the beginning ending letters of the words (still a little tricky in the English language)...so all the people who complain about my spelling and all the little and big kids that get picked on for their spelling...Here's to you! While you have been wasting your time learning how to spell...we have been outside having fun!

P.S. Don't run "spell checker" on this!
